Garlic cloves- 10 to 15 nos

Red chilies,-10 to 12 nos ( see notes)

Tomato sauce- 1 tbsp

Soya sauce- 1 tsp

Instructions:

Remove the stems and soak the red chilies in warm water for 30 minutes.( Remove the seeds,if you like it less spicy).Grind together garlic pods and soaked red chilies to form a smooth paste.Keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan,add chopped garlic and saute for a minute.Add ginger and celery ,saute until raw smell leaves.

I used Kashmiri red chilies ,as it gives a great red color to the sauce and is less spicy.If you are using regular red chilies,adjust the number according to your spice level and also remove the seeds.
